Guess I'm going to miss out on the preorder for Beast as it goes up when I'll be in the theater seeing NOPE.

My guesses:

- Will O’ The Wisp
- Tarantula
- Rocket Racer
- The Spot
- Carrion
- Man-Wolf
- Molten Man
- Belladonna
- Grizzly BAF

… some of those are more/ less obscure than others, but I feel like at least a couple are a given if this pans out!

There will most likely be 2 Spideys in the wave, so that knocks the obscure characters to 4-5. I could totally see the BAF being Grizzly since they can reuse most of the parts from the Build a Bear wave that came out last year.

My personal wishlist for the three remaining characters would be Belladonna, Molten Man, and Man Mountain Marko. Of course, that's under the assumption that they'll do the Enforcers as a box set.

I hope its just robbie and car. I want a proper classic john ( with switchable parts to make human john and rider john, same with ketch ) and proper ketch.

[Iceman]

Yeah, a Ghost Rider Haslab isn’t enticing for me. I don’t need a car in Legends scale and I don’t even have a Ghost Rider figure. I would be down with a Classic Johnny Blaze I guess. I’m happy for all the people that want it but I’m glad If I can avoid a Haslab and save some money.


Sentry might the best upgrade of what they showed. Will be glad to get Beast with a coat and all that. Plenty of good looking figures but nothing much that really makes me want to preorder instead of waiting for a sale.

The only reason I think it is going to include multiple characters is because of the 50th anniversary logo. If it was just one version of Ghost Rider, or at least, just Robbie, the tease probably would have had car noises in it.

Personally, I don't have an interest in owning a figure of Robbie's GR, as I'm a Blaze/Ketch fan myself, and really only Ketch because he was Ghost Rider when I was growing up, but an in scale car would be awesome to have in the photos I take.

[TheBlueMarvel]

There is a good amount for me in the panel reveals and I'm very happy for the diverse selection touching multiple pockets of Marvel, even if it still includes 2 Symbiotes and 3 mutants and remains X/Spidey heavy. A new Panther, a potential Hatut Zeraze army, the Fallen One (a 'Samaritan' Thanos with Skreet would be incredible, Hasbro), Sentry update, and there's no way I'm passing on a Jonathan Majors fig...whomever he's supposed to be... all cheered me considerably and serve to demonstrate that Hasbro's listening to some of the X-fatigue. Let's hope they come to their senses with Spidey as well, but not before Will O'the Wisp, Carrion, and some others mentioned.

Those photos are very old and were shot on a $20 camera that is nearly 20 years old, but thanks. Now if I can just pull some of that old expression forward while using a DLSR.

About the new Rhino, I agree that it's a solid - if slightly lateral - update and like it, I wouldn't have bought it otherwise. I just like the old noggin and paint as well, just as I do with pizza-Spidey and OG Miles.

If this is is true, I'll be even more disappointed than I already am. I don't want to see a wave of C- and D-list characters with at least two Spider-Men. The lesser-known characters pegwarm hard and there are still plenty of villains that need new figures and/or updates. Where's the Chameleon? Where's suit-and-tie Tombstone? Where's a solo release for Venom? I missed out on Vulture, so I'd love to see him redone. Sandman and Hydro-Man can be remade so Sandman is taller and Hydro-Man has normal arms, even if they put them in different suits like Sandman's green armored suit or Hydro-Man's silver/gray armor. There are three versions of Doc Ock (Death of Captain Stacy, white Armani suit and 90s animated series without cel-shading, respectively) that I'm waiting on I'd love to see him released with bendy wire tentacles included -- and as a solo, non-exclusive release next time, please, Hasbro. Mysterio would be a fun re-release with alternate civilian heads of Quentin Beck and Danny Berkhart and/or as a new figure in his '90s animated series costume (preferably without cel-shading). And the Hobgoblin REALLY needs to be redone in his classic comic costume based on John Romita Jr.'s art after the disappointing Retro release.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see figures of lesser-known Spidey foes in Marvel Legends' toylines. Personally, I'm still waiting on the Tinkerer, the Enforcers, classic Tarantula, the Spot, Calypso, the Rose, classic Jack O'Lantern with his hoverdisc, purple-and-blue costume Boomerang, classic Kaine, classic Stunner, classic Lady Octopus, and Delilah. But I just don't think having an entire wave of Spidey figures with D-list rogues and not including one or two A-list villains is a smart move on Hasbro's part. Heck, maybe I'm wrong on this one -- and let's face it, I usually am. But I have a feeling I'm going to be stuck waiting even longer for some of my remaining A-list favorites to get their turn in terms of getting new Hasbro figures made.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and stay safe, everyone.

They just did Sandman...

I know, bud. I meant that they could revisit him later and do a taller/bigger figure for those who passed on him due to his size/height. I know a lot of friends who passed on him due to being disappointed with the figure's size and/or preferring the Build-A-Figure, with a majority of them wanting him re-made a new taller/bigger body mold. Also, like I said, they could've done a never-before-made figure of Sandman in one of his alternate suits, like his green armored look or his green-and-yellow costume from the Wild Pack. After all, we did get a Marvel Legends Falcon figure and then he got a Retro re-release/repaint a year or two afterwards.

My overall point is I was hoping to hear that we'll get at least one or two new A-list villain figures, is all. The decisions being made and character reveals over this past year has really left me feeling burnt out and my excitement for future reveals has diminished considerably. I get that this is all rumors and hasn't been officially confirmed, but after every figure listing in the leaks this year turned out to be true, it wouldn't surprise me if this turned out to be real too.

Thanks for the reply and have a great day, everyone.

[Harbinger]

Still no sign of a classic The Whizzer. Cmon hasbro!

[StuartGreen2019]

Whizzer would be cool. I liked seeing Whizzer and other heroes like Thunderer and Miss America on the '90s "Spider-Man" cartoon. Also, having Black Marvel would be a great figure to go along with new figures for the Slingers. I'd love to see figures of Dusk, Hornet, Prodigy, and, my personal favorite, Ricochet.

Spot, Squid and Calypso for me and a BAF Stegron That would would cover all my remaining Spider-Man villains.

I feel like Spot may not be obscure enough to go with the rest, but he'd be super easy to make.

Very underwhelming reveals imo. I've already decided to wean myself off the ML line due to price increases, the laughable "we're gonna help fight climate change!" decision to do away with plastic clamshells & their unwillingness to add more members of teams such as the Imperial Guard/Squadron Supreme, Starjammers & Serpent society. The umpteenth versions of Spiderman/Wolvy/Hulk/Deadpool has been played out. Although the ToddBatverse line takes the cake in that dept with his endless Batman variations. I will cherry pick to the extreme certain characters & only when I see them on sale/clearance & those are US Agent, classic Sabretooth & of the new reveals, the Human Fly although they went again with a yelling headsculpt version with no alternate stoic head sculpt. If this line refuses to fill out the various teams I mentioned & is just gonna continue focusing on repeat releases of the A-listers, I'll probably be done with collecting this line soon.

Agree 1000% on the teams thing. They give us one or two members then make the others in some bullshit exclusive multipack or two packs and refuse to put the. In brick n mortar stores. I mean for fucks sake where is goddamned xfactor wolfsbane?! Shes the last one needed to finish out the core team. Random would be cool but i like the matching 90’s uniforms and rahne is the last one we need. Please hasbro just make her a ragular retail release, same with petra and sway from the deadly genesis team.

I agree with most of this 100%, with the lone exception of the Hulk. He hasn't been done to death, yet. Most fans were unhappy with how Mr. Fix-It looked and/or how the Marvel Legends 20th anniversary Hulk heads turned out. We've had two exclusive Retro carded Hulks that fans wanted and most weren't able to get. I'm still waiting on a classic Kirby-esque green Hulk, a better Mr. Fix-It, a McFarlane-esque grey Hulk, and brown jumpsuit Merged Hulk from the Pantheon era. I'll take more Hulks. Then again, I'll take more Hulk Legends waves and more Hulk villains, heroes and civilian characters. The main problem is the price to get the Hulk since he's a big figure. He's usually a Build-A-Figure character, which I loathe since I want/prefer solo Hulk figures. If Hasbro's going to make figures of lesser known villains, why not go with Hulk's rogues gallery?

To an extent, even Wolverine hasn't been out as much in recent Marvel Legends waves like he used to be. We'd usually get four or five Wolverines a year back in the '90s/Toy Biz days, from battle damaged and classic to samurai and original blue-and-yellow X-Men uniform, and six to eight Spider-Man figures a year in that time.

Besides, A-list remakes and re-releases are no shock to me. They're going to get remade or re-released over and over. That's just the way it is. They're popular and they sell. My main problem is they're not making it easier for fans to find them when they do and making them unnecessary exclusives to a lone store or website rather than being easy to find everywhere, like the recent Wal-Mart exclusive Animated Spider-Man.

EDIT: Retro Scorpion just went up on Amazon! If you want to pre-order him, go here: https://www.amazon.com/Marvel-MVL-Le...610045&sr=8-36

[Runamuck]

Beast Retro Collection: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produ...Details/211858

Scorpion Retro Collection: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produ...Details/211859

Why the $15 price hike for Beast? Yeah, I get it..he's a larger than normal figure, but not worth the extra $15. I hope some place like Amazon has it cheaer.

[Dormamu]

Anyone seen the Amazon link for Beast? The fact that they put up Scorpion at like 1:45 and then haven't 'fan channeled' anything else is kind of annoying.

after seeing the BBTS price for Beast, i went to Amazon to search and didn't find anything yet.

[Mimicboy]

Howdy everyone! Its been awhile since I have posted, as it has been quite the dryspell for me Legendswise until just recently and now it is SDCC as well! So exciting!
After being one of the people to miss out on the X-force pack due to ordering thru ShopDisney and that fiasco, I didn't really have many wants from the recent offerings. I have recently bought Syrin, Sabertooth, and T:LaT Groot (using the plant accessories for a Black Tom krakoa era custom) though and I love them! Wish I could have had a screaming head for Syrin, but that seems to the consensus so I hope that gets on Hasbro's radar. Less for a new Syrin head and more so that Hasbro doesn't cheap out of giving us a screaming head when they finally get to a new Banshee. Bought a loose Havok for the effects and I am still debating on Darwin or not.
SDCC did not present many offerings that I am personally interested in so far, but everything still lools really cool! With a lack of new X-men news and the typical non-existance of any magical side of marvel offerings, I am most interested in the MCU stuff. Likely gonna buy a Mr.Knight. I want a Kate Bishop and a Ms. Marvel, but Idk if these versions will be the one's I go for or not as both will likely get more versions of them made. Holding out for a Ms. Marvel that actually comes with power accessories seems like a safe bet for me. I am torn about old man Loki as he was really endearing to me in the show so I might get him. The lack of Agatha still hurts me personally the most, but I am certain she will get made closer to her show now. Very curious to see the She-Hulk figure and more from Wakanda Forever. Also, that Sharon Carter jacket is just begging to get re-used for a Darcey figure and I need Hasbro to get on it now!
I know more X-men figures on the way (always are) so even though I didn't see a lot I want, I did really like how much they shared, enjoyed the fun of checking my phone too often as the panel neared, the general hype of a SDCC presentation again, and hope to see more of what I am interested at PulseCon which is not too far away. Mostly I am holding out hope for a solid X-men wave next year. With the VHS figs being Hasbros "x-tra" X-men line currently and I suspect still going into next year (of which I am not collecting any beyond Morph so far), I am only expecting the one normal X-men wave next year, but Hasbro really could easily provide an excellent selection for a single wave just based off common suggestions alone. Banshee (most requested), Avalance, Destiny, Exodus (all oft requested villans), Wolverine/Fang (has to have an anchor character but doubles as a Shiar Super Guardian and more shiar/the starjammers are often suggested), Outback Psylocke and Outback Colossus (works towards finishing a beloved era and builds on recently releasing Longshot). Add in an often requested Baf like Blob, C'hod, or Spiral and bamm. Could be an instant hit wave from my perspective. Though hoping to see all of that as soon as PulseCon is unlikely.

[Captain Nash]

If we are discussing teams, there's so much that "needs to be done". One of those is the original Thunderbolts. For three years in a row we got Songbird, Citizen V and Mach....IV? II? I? whichever it was.

Where are Meteorite, Atlas and Techno? I'd be okay with the Thunderbolts version of Fixer TBH, and I'm counting myself lucky I have the Moonstone with the later costume she wore, but we still need her in the Meteorite outfit. it's like they had a plan, and then just jumped it half done.

I also worry that they're going to the same thing to the New Warriors. We've now got Nightthrasher, Rage, Nova, Firestar and Speedball in the line. Are they gonna leave us high and dry with no Justice, Silhouette, and Namorita?

If they need to do a box set to round it out and include a figure already done like Alpha Flight, or even two already done figures, that's fine. It just needs to happen. That Alpha Flight was basically a team collector's wet dream. We need more of that.

[Dr Kain]

Was surprised to see Beast was still available on Pulse, so I preordered him.

I can't believe they are selling the Amazing Friends set for $75 and the Herald one for $65 when they contain outdated junk ass shit bodies. No thank you!

[WallySparks]

there's still a couple more of Age of Apocalypse stuff to be made for action figures that are long over due

AOA Havok
AOA Abyss
AOA Holocaust which might end up as a build a figure anyway
AOA Gambit
AOA Bishop
AOA Gateway. Didnt Gateway talk normal etc when he showed up in the Weapon X comic?

and regular X-Men characters that need a Marvel Legends figure
-Marrow
-Generation X Banshee
-Generation X Synch
-Generation X Skin
-Generation X Jubilee
-Generation X Chamber
-Generation X Husk
-Gen X Penance
-Generation X build a figure would have to be Emplate
-Stevie the black chick gymnast trainer that was buds with Kitty Pryde and Storm
-original 1980s Rachel Summers
-Avalanche
-Corsair aka poppa Summers

also Hasbro really needs to make these dark horror characters since they were popular in the 1990s

Danny Ketch Ghost Rider
Nightstalkers Blade
Nightstalkers Hannibal and the other guy
Blackheart
Morbius

Spot is supposedly in the next Spider-verse movie, so we're bound to get one sooner or later.

As for obscure villains, it could be someone like Grizzly or Gibbon, Man-Wolf or Swarm, or someone more modern like Screwball. Maybe even Sin Eater? Lots of possible low tier Spider-Man villains, but many maybe unlikely, too. Like Belladonna, who has come up but I'm not sure why. I think she's often confused with Marvel's other Belladonna, but the Spidey character was I believe a one and done and may be too much of a deep dive for a Legends figure.

[jwyss234]

Marvel Studios had their panel tonight. They've dropped new trailers for She-Hulk and Wakanda Forever. Both trailers have cameos of other heroes in them.

Here's the full MCU slate for 2023 and 2024. I find it strange that the new Daredevil series is titled Born Again. I get the word play, however I don't see why they would want to revisit that story line since the Netflix showed used it in its third season. Maybe it'll be like Age of Ultron and they're just using the title name but the story will be different.

Don't forget an AoA Psylocke. She didn't get a lot of time in the comics(which is a damn shame for a character who has such a rich history), but there has been almost nothing in the collectibles made for her character besides a small bust statue.

[Hulkwummy]

What about AOA Mikhail?
